Building and Installation Work
A qualified person should complete all building work; a qualified and
competent person to all relevant national legislative controls must carry
out the installation of gas burners, mechanical extraction, flue systems and
remote control units.
Building work
Building work should only commence after a thorough survey of the
intended location of the impending installation has been completed and it
has been established that the unit can be installed and operated without
risk to the owner or tenants of the property or their neighbours.
Where existing chimney systems are to be used in conjunction with the Fire
Ribbon, they should have been swept and undergone thorough
examination to ensure that they are in a sound and safe condition, as well
as providing an adequate draw when the gas fire unit is in operation.
A simple smoke test will reveal weather or not the chimney is working
correctly.
Installation Procedures
It is important that the gas supply is disconnected before any old existing
surround and hearth is removed.
The Fire Ribbon enclosure should be located centrally to the existing flue /
chimney at your desired height.
If the fire is not placed central to the chimney, the flame picture may pull
incorrectly.
In some installations it is necessary to install a small lintel unit above the
opening, if so an allowance must be made to accommodate the lintel. NOTE
- The Fire Ribbon does not have its own support lintel. NOTE – The support
lintel is not supplied with the unit.
